Departing from EGYPT—in heart as well as body

The Rev. Dr. Toon has brought out the point as to why I went with the Continuum, when there was a local "Orthodox (read conservative) Anglican" Parish. The Church building is large and very nice, in a beautiful area of a premier community, a large Congregation all is perfect, almost.

This parish had gained some notoriety in 2000 as it found itself in impaired communion with it's Bishop over liberal trends in the Church, then in 2004 it locked-out it's new Bishop over his support of V'GeR and finally in 2005 they severed ties with ECUSA and went to the Southern Cone with the 1979 "Prayer Books" super-glued to their hands and seemingly not interested in changing to an Orthodox (read traditional) Book of Common Prayer.

It is my hope that someday this may change and these folks will be able to come to the understanding that the flaws in the theology of the 1979 BAS is what led them to leave ECUSA in the first place and to finish their mission, they will need to embrace a new-old BCP.
